why are the words employment and enjoyment so close?

You know what I hate almost as much as looking for a job? A sucky job. Although I might stick with a sucky job for a while just because I either need the money or I just hate looking for another one.
First you have to skim through all the stuff that there is no chance you are qualified for, I'm not a nurse, and I don't have my CDL so that cuts down the search in half. Then you have the prospective ones, they look good on the surface, you make some calls and nobody ever returns your call, or it turns out the ad didn't accurately describe it and its actually the job of calling people during supper and trying to sell them stuff, man I feel bad for telemarketers--they are people too!
I dunno what it is, maybe all the pressure and the stress, trying to be excited but at the same time not getting your hopes up. Plus the whole interview/application/resume process, did I say enough, did I say too much? I hope they can see past the 15 gazillion jobs that I have had. Wondering if you have enough experience, enough education. Heaven forbid you are overqualified!
If you actually get the job. There is starting the job, the learning curve, usually comes with a lot of numbers and things to remember and the first two weeks you feel like an absolute dork that can't seem to do anything right.
So I press on, hoping and praying for a job that will get me on my feet again. Maybe I will find a place close by and ditch this dumb 35 min commute--it sucks especially at 4:30am, oh well life goes on, there are worse things that could be wrong with my life.
